Well, since size of the tweeter is your criterion, then the "best" would be the three panels in the Kingsound King III electrostatic speaker, of course. (reviewed for Dagogo.com)
What speaker has the best high frequencies?
I have a Spatial Audio X5 with a wide band horn loaded AMT (Air Motion Transformer) which handles high frequencies (1k and up?). It is big, about 6” x 1”. I feel it is much better than the 1” tweeter found in most speakers. I honestly don’t know how this AMT is different from, say, ribbon tweeter. This leads me to think, who or what speaker has the best high frequencies? I heard good things about the B&W diamond tweeter, but it is still a 1” tweeter. What else is out there? I think size makes a difference. In this case, is it a larger ribbing tweeter better than most 1” tweeters?

An AMT tweeter is like a bellows it’s surface area is 3-4 x it total dispersion area that is why it too has a wave guide .The Spatial use a huge AMT to cover midrange on up ,where others use a specific driver just for midrange which ion a $$ speaker is more costly like a Accuton driver, which also use a diamond particle tweeter which is $$ but very accurate. The spatial is very good upgrading or requesting a Xover upgrade will bring Huge results most everyone skimps In capacitors resistors , Path audio best made period but $30 each , vs $3 ,and many upgrade capacitors available. Inductors like a Jantzen great quality,value not too costly but many use cheap bobbin type or called sledge hammer coil of wire around a magnet 🧲 you see this often in many under $10 k just to save under $100. Just for the record when ordering ask to have Xover upgrade options humble homemade Hifi capacitor test gives a very good comparison for modt caps. Spatial uses a Beyma AMT made in Spain which is very good other companies use a smaller AMT just for upper frequencies like Monitor audio for example Their pl500 can go up to 100 k which is class leading ,even their studio can go to 60 kHz which is like a super tweeter. |
X3-06 EXOTIC T35
But I have heard them also with a solid copper modified baffle. SEASExotic-T35Tweeters(CopperFaceplate) The brass terminals were replaced with copper tubes, and the leads crimped and soldered. 1500-25KHz |
